It's most certainly TLC but for that price, I'd expect that to be stated in the specs. And write endurance too.

So around the same prices as Prograde and Exascend offerings but much more compact, if quality decent and they dont overheat should be a good option for video shooters(granted there are only handful of cameras that come with 10Gbps USB connection and even 5Gbps isnt particularly common).

If I'm not mistaken, the entire chassis is aluminium and thermal-padded to the chips inside similar to how my old USB3 10G PKT(1) CFexpress readers are. Wonderful bits of hardware, but I really do wish they were USB4.

Generic aftermarket Replacement cables will not have the same dimension and will ruin that good idea.

Maybe not, maybe yes. Those who buy on Ali will have to take measurements from the totally photoshopped product photos and hope for luck, then re-format connectors with a knife.
